Earlier, metro police spokesperson Parboo Sewpersad told the Daily News that the protest by the group was illegal as they had not made a formal application to stage it.

Police have charged Ngcobo, the Papppi chairpreson, with public violence.

âThis morning at 7am, Durban North police attended to a complaint of a group of 50 people who were obstructing the M4 freeway with banners and other things. The police told them to disperse but they refused and became violent. One of the group members pushed a police officer and was arrested for public violence. He will appear in court soon,â said Gwala.

Reddy defended Ngcobo and said they had footage which allegedly showed they were allegedly under attack from the police.

âThe colonel said he was going to charge Timothy with assault but we said we have video footage to show that it was the police who were attacking us. Timothy did not provoke anyone.

He then changed the charge, and we questioned why he hadnât arrested all of us,â said Reddy.
